When someone can relate to a character, they will remember them and be able to get a good picture of what the character is..."I agree with your post because she is strong and memorable to me too. She is also strong in the other two books.

It is also something that need to explain how the character looks and acts to give you a better understanding. ..."I agree with your description of Katniss. I also think that she is a hero in the book and helps others.
Beth wrote: "I think that when an author writes a book, he makes each character have their own unique personality, like every person has in real life. Some people are very likable, while others aren't as much...."I agree, I also said that what makes a good character is them being unique, and not the same old same old. A character that can really make you visualize what's going on!

Zeke is just a teenager, believing ..."My life is completely different from Zeke's because my parents really do care about me.
I am currently reading First and Ten by Jeff Rud. The main character is Matt Hill, a middle school kid who is trying football for his first time. Matt is a very confident character. He is always looking on the bright side and is always positive. In the book once football tryouts were finished he was positive he was going to make the team whereas some of the other teammates were being negative and thinking they weren’t going to make the South Side football team. Also Matt is a very brave character. Through Matts life he has never had a dad and one day his dad comes out of nowhere and asks for forgiveness because he left Matt and his mother at the age of three. Matt simply forgave his father and went on from there. Matt couldn’t of grew a better relationship with his father.
Ryan wrote: "While reading I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore I realized that the author makes the character memorable by have people knowing this person and also when people think of them. The main character is..."As young adults, I think we can relate to John's fears and passions, that desire to protect someone else.
In the novel Sunrise Over Fallujuh the main character Robin a.k.a. Birdy is a very memorable character. Birdy was being forced into a college to get an office job by his father so instead he joined the army against his fathers wishes. I can relate to this since I have at times wanted go against what people say and just do something that no one expected.He is a memorable character for me because he has opposite characteristics of me, he's brave in the moment and afterwards when he's thinking about what happened he's scared, where as most people will look back and realize it wasn't so bad. He does however show common characteristics that everyone can relate to, fear, caring for friends and family, and compassion. He is scared for the kidnapped children used as bargaining tools in negations over detonators and his buddy Jonsey (a wounded soldier) who just wanted to go home and open a blues club down south.
Over all he's just a memorable character that the author did a great job on making the book come to life and made the character become almost real.
Autumn wrote: "I think a good character is someone who is heroic and someone that can relate to you. It is also something that need to explain how the character looks and acts to give you a better understanding. ..."Autumn, this is a really good description of Katniss. I never really thought about how she helped the weaker people instead of joining the strong. That was a great point!

I like it also when the author describes the characters because then I can picture the character in my head.
I think when the author comes up with his idea for the book he thinks really hard on what kinds of personalities and lifestyles the characters will have. The reason is because, when you read a book you don’t want to read one with a boring, selfish square; you want to read read one about a heroic/ funny athlete. Also, I think you have to put good detail in describing the characters traits, personality, attitude etc. When the authors do this that is when you get hooked and start to wonder what next. For example in my book no one really did any good descriptions of the characters; so therefore my book has no memorable characters what so ever.

But, he ..."I think your character sounds interesting and inspiring! Maybe I'll try to read it sometime!
Terri Fields is a very good author because she uses very detailed and clear story’s that slowly put the book together in the book ,Hold Up." She makes the characters interesting and stand out from others. Whether the tone is happy or sad. Her books are great and they give a good feel on how the character was put together and she makes you want to never put his books down. Also I think this book has a great story line and I also think that the story has a great ending it makes you feel like the story was put together well.
I am currently reading That Summer by Sarah Denssen and shes very good at expressing characterization throughout her books. I think a good character is someone who is outgoing and expresses their feelings throughout the book. They need to know how to show their emotions while expressing how they feel. Also someone that you can relate to you, will create a character. Someone who many people also can relate to as a character or many characters. Maybe if it's how they are acting, expressing their feelings or just being outgoing and energetic. A good character in my book I would say so far is Haven, she expresses her feelings about her sister Ashley. How Ashley is always her daddy's favorite daughter and more like his weather pet wife. She always expresses her feelings about how Ashley is always getting the good guys and being her dad's favortie child out of her kids in the family. She also explains how she is always getting the most handsome boyfriends in the family, but then breaks their heart. Until Ashley finds Lewis, her character is basically expressing her background of feelings. This shows how Haven may feel most likely left out. That also Haven possibly never will be her dad's favorite daughter or get that good looking handsome boyfriend like her sister Ashley always did. She also expresses how she doesn't feel that she has a good body like Ashley does. Ashley is skinny, short and has small feet. Where Haven is tall and has big feet and maybe a atletic body I am not sure though. I think Haven has a good sense of humor and good at expressing her feelings. In my place I also can relate to her and picutre part of whats going on in this story.
The way I think the best way to describe a character in a book is to describe the character to a perfect T or to the point of which you want the reader to establish the idea and looks of the character they are reading about in the book. The best way to do this is to let the reader read about the character and to let them actually see the thoughts of the character so they can get an understanding of the person they are reading about and so they can relate to the character if it is possible. the other way to make this possible is to let the reader know about the characters knowledge and looks to compare the character to there surroundings so the reader gets the understanding they need so they can see ho the character would react to others in the book. Characterization is the way in which authors convey information about their characters. Characterization can be direct, as when an author tells readers what a character is like (e.g. "George was cunning and greedy.") or indirect, as when an author shows what a character is like by portraying his or her actions, speech, or thoughts (eg. "On the crowded subway, George slipped his hand into the man's coat pocket and withdrew the wallet, undetected."). Descriptions of a character's appearance, behavior, interests, way of speaking, and other mannerisms are all part of characterization. For stories written in the first-person point of view, the narrator's voice, or way of telling the story, is essential to his or her characterization. Characterization is a crucial part of making a story compelling. In order to interest and move readers, characters need to seem real. Authors achieve this by providing details that make characters individual and particular. Good characterization gives readers a strong sense of characters' personalities and complexities; it makes characters vivid, alive and believable.

I remembered you showing me this book in algebra class last year and I was reading a few passages and I really like the character "Mark Titus" was funny,outgoing,and a trouble maker. I found that this book and character will always be with me because of the character and author Mike Titus was.
I think that a good character is someone you can relate to. Usually a well writen character you can fit it into your life somehow. You can see where that person would fit in if you knew them, such as in my book I know someone who is like the main character so I can relate to the challenges he faces.
For me to remember characters I have to be able to connect with them or they have to leave a big impact on me. In my independent novel Absolute Brightness by James Lecesne, Leonard Pelkey is a character that is remembered. He is all about being positive even in the worst times and he isn't a follower. Leonard wears clothes that most people don't wear and he talks different than many people. He has a quality about him that makes people like him. It's these things about him, that make me like him. He can be related too and he is powerful. Leonard inspired me to not care about what other people think of me and to do what I want to do. On the other hand, I don't like it when characters are only about telling the story. When characters are just thrown into the story without a main purpose I find it annoying. I feel that characters need to bring something to the story. They can't just be mentioned once and then we don't hear about them ever again. To me, this is just a waste of characters that could be leaving an impact on the reader.
I usually only read nonfiction books. Dishes was my first nonfiction book that I had read in a long while and the main character in that book was not memorable at all. His name was Danny and he was an average teenager. He worked at a restaurant and did average teenage things like ate at other restaurant, slept, and walked around town a lot. He had a girlfriend and a few other friends, but that was about it. I didn’t enjoy reading about Danny either. He was boring and talked a lot about his past, which was also average a boring. The interesting thing I found a bout this character is that his parents were never married and he dropped out of high school. All in all it was a boring book about a boring character that never had a real climax.
The character that I am doing is Charlie Swan. He is a police man and Charlie is Bella Swan’s dad. He has a mustache he is divorced and is living his life by going out to eat once and a while with his daughter. They don’t tell what he does on his free time. They don’t say what is his interests. He doesn’t really show up so much in the books. He has a light colored skin. Charlie tries to keep Bella away from Edward because he doesn’t want him near her. Charlie knows how to use a gun so if Edward would hurt her he would go after him.The main character I am doing is Jacob Black. He is really tall. Super muscular. He can usually be found without a shirt or a black shirt he is usually wearing cut jeans or cargo shorts. He is a werewolf. If he is going to turn into a wolf he usually starts to shake. He has black hair brown eyes he has a dark brown colored skin. He is in Sam’s pack. He is support to be the Alpha but he let Sam be Alpha instead. Jacob is the Beta. Jacob is a werewolf because of the vampires. The gene for this is in slumber until a vampire moves into town then it sets in. he becomes this to protect Bella from the evil vampires.
When authors write there novels or story’s they give each character a different unique personality or style, like how they look and how they act. And so then throughout the book you can really get to now who your main character is, and how you could relate to them. And just by actions and taints you can really make the person memorable too. In the book I’m reading End of the Line, the character that stood out to me most is Robbie because his uniqueness and personality. Even in any situation the author just makes him stand out weather or not if he’s sad, happy or in any mood or tone. But I think my character Robbie has really changed throughout the book now that’s he has been hanging out with Ryan (kind of a troubled kid and doesn’t have the best life). His mood has changed too he gets more sad and mad easier with people than you used to be. I think its just Ryan and school is getting to him. But overall my character Robbie is caring, independent and has a lot of self-worth.

I will also remember my character Charlie in "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" because he does crazy things like Helen does in your book. I agree with you that the main character has to do things that stand out, otherwise they won't be a memorable character. I believe that Charlie is very memorable, because he does some very crazy things because he is going into high school, so he tries some new things. The author explains all the events in great detail, so I will definitely remember Charlie.
Beth wrote: "I think that when an author writes a book, he makes each character have their own unique personality, like every person has in real life. Some people are very likable, while others aren't as much...."I agree with you when you say authors give each character a uniqe personality. I am reading Catching Fire and can relate to your oppinion on Katniss Everdeen. There are times when she dosnt seem like a great role mode, but there are also times where she does the right thing. Katniss dosn't really reach out to me as a character, but she is a great person to read about.
Authors can really personify their characters by adding actions that show their traits and things that readers can relate to. When they give something that the readers can relate to, they make the readers able to feel how the characters are feeling. A character that I remember is Harry Potter. I remember him because he is heroic and does the right thing in a situation. He also does a lot of things from which you can tell his character.
I think a good character is by his or her personality. His personality tells us about who he or her is.In my book Danial and the Half Human Nazi, by David Chejewski My characters persona is that he is very shy and frightful. He shows this alot during the book. When ever people talk to him he just walks away andstars to cry because he thinks that everyone is after him
To me a great character is created with lots of backround knowledge about their life. In my book "Fault in Our Stars" by John Green the main character, Hazel is a young adult with cancer. Her story is explained so well, she is easily imaginable. Flashbacks, humor and voice really change her character into a real person. The word choice used by the author, changes the story as well. It makes the character relatable. For example the author uses text message conversations and slang terms, it makes the reading easy to relate to for the projected audience of young adults. Those aspects of my story help make Hazel relatable and one of my favorite characters.

The more a character shows and expresses their feelings in a book, the more likeable they can be. One of the characters in my book, Looking for Alaska does a great job showing all of her feelings. Her name is Alaska and she's not afraid to voice her opinion and say what's really on her mind. Although she's quite conceded in the book and cares only about herself, she's one of my favorite characters. She likes to act like she's better than everyone and that everyone finds her attractive and good looking. I also agree on how i remember everything about the characters in the books I've picked myself compared to the books that I am required to read and are chosen for me.

What do author's do with their writing to make characters..."
I do agree on how characters cannot just be made in five minutes and how you have to give them a life before putting them into a book, like when you give them their fears, passions, weaknesses, and strenghts. How you have to take time to put them together and make it the person you can see in your head not like a lifeless stick figure.
I think for a character to be remember the author has to describe them in a way. They have to make them stand out from the rest of the character. I think that main character does not have to stand out the most like in my book Football Champ the main character is not the person that stands out. His best friend is all ways trying to get in the spotlight. He all ways try’s to one up the main character.
Ryan wrote: "Billy Coleman in the book Where The Red Fern Grows has really stood out the most to me over the past years from any of the others books I read. I think this is because we kind of have the same pers..."I can see what you mean by you can easily remember a character you can relate too. That’s a reason why I like to read books with characters who either hunt, fish or farm because those are things that I do and I can relate to their standings. Like in my book there is a 16 year old that all his co-workers call the boy because he works on a farm with a bunch of migrant workers. I can relate to him through the whole farm idea and that he is almost the same age as me. Also he will work hard for food or money for food he has adapted his skill so he went from being a city kid with drunks for parents to a hard working drifter who can drive a tractor and hoe an acres of beets in a day.
Alec wrote: "One Character that I felt really connected to was Percy Jackson from the series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Good job.
Nicole wrote: "One character i remember above all else has got to be Zoey Redbird from the house of night series. She starts out in a bad situation but through the series she grows a lot and learns sacrifice and ..."I agree she does start off in a bad situation but grows as a person and a fledging. She starts off with being a regular person and getting like stalked, by this person, and eventually she has been marked in to a fledging. She then was scared and terrified, didn't know what to do because she had a mark on her forehead. She went to her grandmas and fainted when she woke up she was at the House of Night. She was still all alone everyone always looked at her funny, because of her weird marl. The only reason why she had a weird mark was because of the fact that she had all five elements. Everyone looked at her funny until then she told off Aphrodite, then everyone started to get to know her better because everyone hated Aphrodite. After a while she became moor popular but then again it went down because she was calling Neferet evil. Everyone thought she was weird again, but it got better because then she started to date the hottest guy at the House of Night Erik Night. After then it went back and forth because her and Erik were having trust issues, Erik thought she was in love with Mr. Blake which was the drama teacher. Towards the end everyone knew who Zoey was good or bad they all knew her. Zoey always was either liked or everyone just looked at her like she was a freak. Zoey now has friends that love her for her and not because she is the High Priestess and does have the ability to call all five elements, earth, air, water, fire, and spirit.

They can just have random talking phrases and then think random things. The outsiders didn't stick with me the way Firehorse is. Rachel the main character talks and thinks the way I do. It also helps if you have the same likes.
Beth I completely agree with you. A character really can stick in your mind if the author makes him or her like ourselves, or if the characters is someone that really has a individuality from all the other characters. Also, when the author makes characters likable or unlikable it really adds to the story plot of the book. Like if the bad guy has the upper hand on the good guy or if the good guy turns out to be the bad all along. Those characters make a book turn into a really good story that you can't put down. In my book that I'm reading now the main character, Rain, is finding out her life really isn't what she thought it was. I can't relate to her on that level but she has such a caring and optimistic personality that I really admire. You were right about wishing to meet a character, you can read about them in a book but you can only hope that one day you'll find a personality like that in the real world one day.
I think a good character is someone that you can relate to. I find the character Liam from "King of The Screwups" to have a lot of traits that a regular person would have. I like the way that the author describes the realistic feelings that the character has throughout the book. I also like the realistic situations that he has gone through.
Jackson wrote: "In the novel Sunrise Over Fallujuh the main character Robin a.k.a. Birdy is a very memorable character. Birdy was being forced into a college to get an office job by his father so instead he joined..."I understand going against what people say and doing things people don't think you would do. The kid dose sound like a meroable character because he did what his father told him not to do and didn't listen to what other people think is the right thing to do. Sometimes you should do what you think is right and not waht others want you to do.
In the book What my Girlfriend doesn't know; the main character is Robin, but to Dylan he is known as Murphy. Murphy is Robin's last name. Everyone around school will see someone do something stupid and say "Wow your such a Murphy" as an insult to Robin.The author of this book has really described him and given me visuals to who he is and why he is the main character. Sonya Sones(the author) keeps the characters apart from each other and give them their own opinions. This might be why Robin stands out to me; he has a thing for his present-girlfriend but can't decide whether he should tell Sophie, his girlfriend, that he has a a crush on some college girls. He's memorable because he has a different view on what he should do in every situation.
In the book "The Rise of Nine" by Pittacus Lore there are many good characters. However one of the most recent ones I read about is number 7, Marina. She is just like a normal girl, medium height and brown hair. I enjoy her because she is determined, shy, quiet and also funny and outgoing at the same time. She's very similar to a teenage girl because she is trying to figure out her life which I think makes her very realateable. Just like the other numbers/characters in the book her goal is to defeat Mogadorians and get their planet Lorien back.They do this by using their legacies or powers. Marina has telekinesis, holding her breath under water, and many more that have not been revealed. I think that the author Pittacus Lore did a good job of presenting this character because Marina was revealed by being found by others in an orphanage. Then he revealed her powers further on in the story making it more suspenseful. He also describes her very well by saying what she looks like and how she feels. Last, he also gives good detail in every scene of how hard she works to fight for her planet. Overall, I enjoy this book because the author describes Marina and all the other characters very well.
I think that when an author writes a book, he tries to make the characters have their own unique personality to try to make connections to the reader. They may use things like the tense they talk in, what they do, and what they say to try to make connections to the reader's life and what they like or dislike. They try to use their writing techniques to bring the character's emotions through the pages in into our hearts and minds. The more I can relate to a character, the more I can connect to what is going on in his or her life. But when it is about a character that you can't relate to or does nothing in the story that is significant, they seem to be the character(s) that you forget about in a rather fast amount of time. In the book "Lawless" by Matt Bondurant the character that is the most relatable to and the most memorable is the main character, Jack Bondurant. Being able to relate to being the youngest, what he does in the book also stands out to me because no matter what, the author uses good details and emotions to bring the issue in into your mind. It makes reading and remembering what you read a whole lot easier when you can relate to the characters.

You just sound like you're whining about it. In addition, you should give examples of why he is uninteresting.
While reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire I've come to relate and feel sorry for Harry. He's had to live with his aunt and uncle and their son. They practically starve Harry and give him hand me downs that are 5x too big. Harry never knew his parents but he knew that they died when he was a baby and they were protecting Harry from Lord Voldemort the most powerful and feared wizard there is. That is before he tried to kill Harry and lost the battle. J. K. Rolling does a great way of explaining characters that I have not forgot one. She tells you what they're like; if they're mean or if they're nice, or what house they're one and so on. She is one of my favorite authors not because of the Harry Potter series but because she explains things in such detail that she make dirt sound like a roller costar, fun and exciting just by describing it.
Stephanie wrote: "I think an author makes each character different for a reason. It’s kind of like life if everybody in life was the same it would be boring. In the Twilight series You have Edward who is a vampire m..."I totally agree that the author makes each character different for a reason! In the book I'm currently reading, The Difference Between You And Me by Madeleine George, Jesse is a character that is different from most people. The author even describes her as "weird and different". I think having a character that's "different" from everyone else makes them stand out more. Jesse wears fisherman's boots and cargo pants everyday. She doesn't care what people think about her during school. And I think that's what makes her such a good character! Plus the author does a great job of showing Jesse's personality through what her values are. Jesse is just trying to get through high school being the "weirdo". She really cares about politics and what big companies will do to her small town. I think that's one reason I like her so much. We live in a small town, and she's trying to save hers from a big corporation. She stands up for what she believes in, and I think that's another reason she stands out to me. She's so bold. She's just an overall great character!
At this moment, I am reading the novel, Sexy by Joyce Carol Oates. The main character, named Darren, is a very likable person from what he is described as. Often times, he tries to keep everyone happy and not disappoint them. His coach is a good example of someone he doesn't want to let down. No matter how hard he works and strives for perfection, his coach just gives him encouragement saying that maybe next time he can get it. Another view that is likable about this character is that he keeps to himself, despite what people think of him. Many girl students believe Darren to be fairly good looking or attractive in their eyes and always show obvious signs to him, but he remains shy and modest. Towards the beginning of the novel, Darren is in a situation with his teacher where he feels a little uncomfortable; his teacher was being a little too nice to him. After this incident, he just shook it off and tried to think of it as a thing in the past. But then with the same teacher, he is shown favoritism for school. Not once did he tell anybody what had happened, and he may be doing the wrong thing by not telling anyone, but it shows just how timid and self-conscious this popular and “good looking” boy really is.
Martha wrote: "I think that a great character is someone that many people can relate to. When someone can relate to a character, they will remember them and be able to get a good picture of what the character is..."I agree; a great character in a novel should be easy to relate to, so the reader really understands what he/she is going through and it makes it memorable. It also is great when the character is somewhat heroic because it creates a somewhat fictitious role model that people can look up to.
There are a lot of characters that are very remember able for me. The characters that I remember don’t have a lifestyle anything like mine, but they a little similar personality . I think that some authors try to make a character this way because it’s more exciting for the reader because they don’t know type of things this person goes through or what type of things to expect from them, but they’re still a little bit like you. One character that I will never forget is Katniss Everdeen, from the Hunger Games Series. She a character that I will never forget because she has a lot of characteristics that I don’t have. Katniss isn’t really a very friendly person, she shouts out people in her life and only cares about a few people. I am not a very friendly person either, mainly because I am shy. She also is a fantastic hunter with a bow and arrow; where I can barely hit the bullseye fifteen feet away in gym class. She also is a very brave person, not letting anything get in her way. Katniss might seem like she’s not afraid of anything and is a very tough person, but really she’s just an average teenage; with hopes, fears, and dreams.
To me a good author describes a character with descriptive words such. By using these descriptive words we can see how or why the character made the decisions the character did so we can better understand the text. In doing this it doesn't just make the story more interesting but easier to understand.One character that stuck out the most for me would be Katniss because the way the author described her actions helped me to understand her reasoning.
Authors make their writing come alive by the characters in the book. The traits of the character are the most important thing in a story to make it come alive. When a character has a realistic personality it makes them seem real. I like it when a character is funny because I can relate to that. Some characters are easy to remember yet, some are easily forgotten.
I think that a good character would be someone who can relate to you and proud of them selves and has a good reputation with a lot of friends. They could also be helpful with situations and they could be able to help the problem and make it better. For example, in The Hunger Games book, Katniss protects her sister Prim by volunteering to be the girl in The Hunger Games and not her sister. Katniss is considered a heroic character because she wants to protect her sister and keep her out the danger that she faces.
While I was reading The Deadly Sister by Eliot Schrefer, The Main character is Abby Goodwin, She’s a teenager who been trying to prove that her younger sister, Maya was innocent for murder Jefferson Andrews. She might be a memorable character for me, because I do not have her qualities. She is very protective of her sister, Maya, she always covers for her when she’s out going out, skipping school and doing drugs. When Jefferson Andrews is dead, the cops figured it was Maya who caused the murder of Jefferson Andrews, but in the twist in the end, It was Abby who murder him because they’re in a long relationship.
I think a good character is someone who makes you feel their emotions and get into the characters shoes. I find a book easier to read when I am inspired by the main character. In the book The Soldiers of Hall by D.J. MacHale the main character Bobby Pendragon is very courageous and throughout the book he learns how to interpret situations differently and more effectively. I like when a character matures throughout the book. In the beginning of my book my character was a follower and now he is a leader.
